Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB vs G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 12.86 ns for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB, 2.86 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB — 51200 MB/s per module against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB has RGB lighting, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is 32-40-40-84, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB publishes none.
Which to buy
Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns.
